- with a book display featuring seasonal cooking and crafting books to borrow;

- with free access to recipes from New York Times Cooking,
a digital cookbook and cooking guide, available online and as an app;

- with an instant pot pressure cooker, a cake decorating kit,
a candle-making kit (including wax), and a jewelry-making kit (including beads), among many other helpful and interesting tools and kits available to borrow from the Library of Things
at Ramsdell Library in Housatonic;

- with gingerbread house take-home kits available in
Mason Library’s Children’s Department;

- with a winter and holiday decoration event at Ramsdell Library on Saturday, December 17th.
